CALM Home Page [Hinkel, K.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/46.815

Summary
This dataset consists of the Home Page for the Circumpolar Active Layer
Monitoring (CALM) program as well as multiple directories and files of jpg and
gif images, docs, html files, powerpoint, xls and txt files. The data are from
a CD and are contained in a single gzipped tar file. The CALM program is
designed to monitor and model changes in the thickness of the active layer
above permafrost. CALM consists of 81 research sites operated by researchers
from Austria, Canada, China, Denmark/Greenland, Kazakstan, Poland/Svalbard,
Russia, Sweden/Svalbard, Switzerland and the United States. Investigators at
these sites measure the seasonal thaw depth across plots using a standard
protocol. Soil and air temperature, and soil moisture content, are also
measured at many sites using a standard format. The soil, landscape, and
vegetation at each site is also described.
